“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” gets our two reviewers a little worked up. J.D. is very prone to liking the fantasy films, and Eric’s still got something stuck in his craw about “Speed Racer.” Sounds like the makings of a good one…

- back on the chain gang...
Pineapple Express
Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, its a stoner romp and a also a funny send-up on classic action TV series and action films.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
If there were ever a completely paint-by-numbers movie, this lame action retread filled with lame jokes in a lame plot would be it.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The science vs. faith argument bludgeons the audience and the central mystery has an absurdly silly resolution in this feature-length version of a mediocre TV episode.
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
A celebration of a genre-busting writer/rabble-rouser and an elegy for a time period when a freak like Hunter S. Thompson could get access to political leaders and actually affect radical change.
The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan’s Batman epic may be a little overstuffed, but it’s also a riveting, morally complex tale with a standout villain and thrilling action.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Guillermo Del Toro’s love for creature features comes through, but his story is uncomfortably rote in this comic book sequel.
Wall-E
Chaplinesque whimsy and serious sci-fi themes combine to make this adventurous Pixar film an instant classic.
Wanted
“Wanted” is, quite simply, every nerdy fanboy’s fantasy come true in fast-paced, ridiculously fun fashion.
The Incredible Hulk
Edward Norton and Liv Tyler star in this decent, by-the-books redo/continuation of Marvel’s mean green machine.
The Happening
It makes a great advertising gimmick, but the R-rating becomes a crutch for director M. Night Shyamalan to fall back on.
